Dark I Am Yet Lovely lyrics

Dark I am yet lovely as tents of Kedar

As the pavilions of Solomon either

Don't hate me because the sun has darkened me

All my mother's sons were so angry with me

They made me watch the vineyards

My own things I did not guard

On my bed at night I sought whom my soul loves

Oh I sought I sought but I found him not

So I ask you daughters of Jerusalem

Where is my love? Oh tell me have you seen him?

Majestic as Lebanon stately as cedars

His mouth so delicious his fragrance so pleases

Such is my beloved such is my darling

And if you see him say my heart is pining

For the kisses of his mouth and his flavours

Oh the king had brought me into his chambers

Say I delight in his love

Say he's the one my soul was

Vast floods can't quench love no matter what love did

Rivers can't drown love no matter where love's hid

So when you do find him out

Bring him to my mother's house

And into the chamber of her who conceived me

Then will he know me and then will he see me

Tell him that love isn't done

Tell him don't leave me alone
